DIY Wine Glass Charms

Book club is tomorrow! I'm so excited. Friends are coming over to my house for eats, drinks, and some chatting about Rebecca.

I felt like I wanted to make something fun and crafty for the occasion. Wine glass charms seemed to be the perfect solution. Useful and cute, you can make these to fit any theme you want.

I used cold press paper (left over from my autumn art project that you'll see Friday), some beads, colored pencils, and paper clips.

Simply doodle out whatever design you want and cut it out. Poke a hole through the charm and string it onto your paperclip. I used a round tip pliers to shape the paper clip into a circle to go around the stem of the glass.

If you have the time to pick them up, earring hoops work perfectly. But, I was short on time and high on office supplies :)

WHAT I'M READING

I started this blog as a way for friends and family to keep in touch while I traveled abroad. Now, I hope it gives you ideas to try for crafts, food, home, and garden. I love to dabble, and I try not to buy when I can DIY!
